I am pleased to announce that Rutgers Stadium will expand to include close to 1,000 new mezzanine level seats for the 2008 season and 13,000 additional lower level seats for the 2009 season. Construction will begin immediately.
    The stadium expansion will provide thousands of fans on a growing waiting list (over 10,000 as of today) the chance to purchase season tickets in the near future. 
    No public money or university funding will be used for the expansion of Rutgers Stadium. Ticket revenues and support from individuals and corporations will exclusively fund this project.
    I would like to thank  President McCormick, Chairman Howard, the boards of  Governors,  Trustees and Overseers, and Governor Corzine and Senator Lesniak  for helping to make this exciting project possible. Your unwavering support has been inspiring. I would also like to express sincere thanks to our loyal and growing fan base.
    In the near future we will have more details about season ticket opportunities throughout the stadium. Seating and parking policies for the 2008 football season will continue to follow our current priority point policy.  We will continue to evaluate our priority seating and parking policies to address prudent suggestions we receive from our fans and to evolve with advances made by our peer institutions.
    I want to thank all of you for your support of Rutgers football and GO RU!
